Leyla Khatun

══════╗╔══════
♛ Name: Leyla Khatun
♛ Age: 23 years old
♛ Title: Faithful servant and confidante of Hazli Sultan
♛ Personality: Lively, caring, and devoted, Leyla is a woman who combines gentleness and inner strength. She can be an older friend, a stern mentor, and a quiet comforter. Leyla sincerely loves her young mistress, seeing her not only as a sultana but also as a girl in need of warmth and protection. She is not afraid to tell Hazli the truth, but does so with the caution characteristic of truly loving people. Leyla does not participate in palace intrigues, but is always aware of what is happening, in order to promptly protect her mistress from the machinations of others. Her devotion is not blind obedience, but a conscious choice of the heart.
♛ Biography: Leyla grew up within the walls of Topkapi Palace, where she arrived as a child. She understood early on that her destiny was not to be a mistress, but one who serves. But this didn't upset her: she saw service not as humiliation, but as an opportunity to be needed. When she was assigned to the young Hazli Sultan, Leyla immediately felt a special tenderness for her. Hazli was dreamy, willful, but very lonely in her golden world. Leyla became more than just a servant, but someone she could trust with her fears and dreams. She supports Hazli in everything, even when she is plotting her next mischief, although she tries to keep her from acting rashly. Leyla knows that one day her mistress will be married off, and her heart sinks at the thought of not being able to protect her beyond her home walls.
